BBTV Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Wow. Never saw that MD can before. What era is that from? I can remember MD as far back as early '80s, and they certainly weren't using that can then.

CDixonDesign Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Awesome! Love the Pepsi label, as BBTV mentioned, the Mountain Dew label must be an early early design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNTwins Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Pardon my ignorance, but do Pepsi and Mountain Dew not use real sugar normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Pardon my ignorance, but do Pepsi and Mountain Dew not use real sugar normally?Almost no "big name" (mass produced) sodas in the US use real sugar anymore. It's all high-fructose corn syrup. Some smaller makers still use it though.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

MDC Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Ive never seen the Mountain dew design either, but i did pick up one of those bottles. It actually tasted a lot better with the real sugar, noticeably better ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think the mountain dew design is from the 60s.The market/deli near me until a few years ago had a mountain dew sign with that cool designSadly they replaced with with coca-cola (the bursting bottle design from the early 2000s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannerman Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The Throwbacks (which first appeared in April and now return in December) use a combination of cane and beat sugar as their definition of "real" or "natural" sugar. The new Dew Throwback actually changed formula a bit when compared to the original April version.

Stormo Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I'm old enough for the the Mountain Dew throwback to look familiar. It was older bottles still in circulation when I was a youngin, but there are two things I distinctly recall.The slogan was "It'll tickle you innards" and every bottle said "Filled by... (and listed names that I forget now). Seeing Mountain Dew's resemblance to bodily fluids we found that funny as little kids (who am I kidding, it's still funny now).

EJ_Barlik Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 tried the "Heritage" Dr Pepper earlier this week. Wasn't too bad, but tasted like regular Dr Pepper, so no sense buying it "just because". But, IMO, Throwback Dew is better that what's currently on the market.   5-time Defending NL East Champions  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember MD as far back as early '80s, and they certainly weren't using that can then.I want to say late 60's or maybe early 70's. I remember them. It cracks me up how Dew's image has changed so much since it's debut. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
